  1. Is this a track car or a street car? Personally i would never get rid of the clutch fan on a street car, i specifically bought a radiator where i could retain the factory shroud. Most people i know that have gone to a thermo set up have nothing but dramas with them. Not saying you can't get them to run properly, but most people don't have them set up optimally. If its a track car that see's a lot of high speed and isn't sitting sitting there idealing a lot then yeah fair enough the thermo set up might not be as bad. Like i said, personally i would just stick with the clutch fan and make the shroud fit.
  2. Ill take one of the timing belt covers if you could do it for $50 delivered? Let me know if your interested. Thanks.
  3. Whiteline rear camber kit is around $120-$150 Whiteline front camber kit is around $130-$170 Whiteline front castor kit is around $100-$120 So really it shouldn't be more than $500 I got all mine for around $340. Ring up an Autobarn or something near you, give them the part numbers (KCA348, KCA331, KCA347), ask what the best price they can give for all three. Autobarn do a 10% off RACQ discount so ask for that after. Definetely can get them for less than $650. Your call.
  4. Spend your money on something else.
  5. A full set of camber and castor bushes plues labour should be no where near $1000. Buy them yourself through whiteline and install them yourself, fairly easy to do. You will just need to get some one with a hydraulic press to press the old bushes out. For that $1000 you should be able to get all the bushes, get some pineapples and a HICAS lock bar.
  6. Did a bit of research. Most people say it is fake, and it most likely is but no one has really released anything saying it wasn't real. Having said all that im sure Mercedes have enough money and engineering skill to pull something like that off. Physics proves it is possible and hell even Top Gear gave it a go in a "not so aerodynamic" car.
  7. This is like watching a TV series and every episode leaves you wanting more and more. Can't wait to see how the interior turns out.
  8. Yep, Pete tunes my car
  9. Nismo used to sell those carbon sticker ends, don't any more. http://www.nengun.com/nismo/rear-spolier-ornament-nismo
  10. Bahahahaha!
  11. The real question is, did they do the tunnel thing for real? I highly doubt they did, but it would be awesome if it was. I might do some google'ing and see if it was real.
  12. Before this thread spirals into the same argument as all the other threads, have a read of this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Bh...drivetrain+loss
  13. Most likely a highflow.
  14. Yep i agree, the stove top tail lights are one of the sexiest things about a Skyline.
  15. You get them all?
  16. I got them all, ill talk to you about them later.
  17. Then you don't worry about it Mine has nothing in it. As said in the above post, mainly needed if it is an actual oil/air seperator.
  18. Awww I like Marshall.
  19. Oh our discussion has nothing to do with this thread, i know that lol. This happens in the forced induction section all the time, we're quite used to it now. A simple thread about a BOV or something will turn into a great Engineering debate down to the complexicities of electrons and protons. Definetely keeps shit interesting
  20. F**king LOL! Whats wrong with liking Eminem though
  21. Lol both can be arranged. Ill post up some pics when i get home. The carbon add ons are made by Vertex.
  22. The halarious thing is there are three distinct discussions going on in here now. Not one of them to do with the original post lol.
  23. The temperature of the gasses inside the exhaust are important. The more heat you can trap in the exhaust the better. The hotter the gases, the faster they travel. Since thermodynamics is a study of energy conversion between heat and mechanical work it is relevant. Why do you think keeping as much heat inside of an exhaust manifold and exhaust housing is an important part of spooling a turbo. The hotter you can make it, the better. So while i agree on this discussion on NA cars it is mainly fluid dynamics, thermodynamics are just as important considering most of us on here drive turbocharged vehicles. Any back on topic.
  24. Haha thats awesome. Let me know what it's like, i might try it aswell for shits and giggles
